Is there any way to discover the location of the pfile of a running oracle instance.
The pfile is not at its default location. i.e in $ORA_HOME/ds/init.ora.
In such case if I have access to sqlplus can i find its location ?

I am running oracle on Solaris.
Can not use 'find' as pfile can be of any name and can be present in any directory in the system.
I was hoping to find the location and name of pfile from the running instance, may be from sqlplus or any other utility.
